Personal trainer Steve Tongue, who has a particular training focus on functional movement, was keen to share his insight into the workout video:
“The 100 rep challenge incorporates a variety of functional movement patterns to create a well-balanced, total-body workout. The exercises in the video encourage compound movement, which involves multiple joint actions and therefore recruits a high amount of muscle action. Taking this multi-joint approach maximises the amount of calories you can burn in a short space of time.
“Adding the competitive element of working against the clock helps you to push into the anaerobic energy production pathway. Working at this higher level of intensity is great for boosting metabolism by creating the ‘after burn’ effect.
“Low-level intensity skipping between rounds ensures your aerobic energy system stays active and makes maximal use of your workout time. If you only have a small time window to work out in, then you need to make it count. Keep it short, sweet and sweaty to get the best VFM for your efforts.”
